Curling is a common phenomenon occurring in nature soils due to the rearrangement of soil
particles during the desiccation process. The occurrence of curling in soils is generally …

Drying‐induced soil curling is commonly observed in nature. In order to investigate the
change of water distribution in soil caused by drying and curling, a series of drying tests is …

Soil curling caused by drying is a common phenomenon in nature, and it can vary
depending on different atmospheric effects. To investigate the coupled effects of temperature …

Soil curling is a common phenomenon in nature due to the rearrangement of soil particles
caused by moisture loss. The occurrence of curling in soils significantly affects soil …

Soil curling is an important phenomenon associated with volume changes induced by
increasing soil suction upon desiccation. The study of soil behaviors associated with drying …

A new DEM-based approach is proposed to study the desiccation of slurry soils. Distinctly to
existing DEM approaches that only consider the solid phase, the proposed method explicitly …

Soil desiccation is a common physical phenomenon, which causes many geotechnical
problems to unsaturated clayey soils. In this paper, a proposed model was incorporated into …

Desiccation cracking of soils is of critical importance in many applications, such as industry
wastes, hydraulic barriers, road embankments, and agriculture practice. This paper …

This paper focuses on the shrinkage behavior of soil specimens involving sand, kaolinite,
and kaolinite/sand mixtures subjected to desiccation under controlled conditions. Both, free …

Desiccation cracking of clay soil is of critical importance in many applications, such as
industrial waste containment, hydraulic barriers, road embankments, and agricultural …
